CLIENT: True North Gems (TNG/LNS)
PROJECT: Aappaluttoq Mine Dense Media Separation (DMS) Plant
PROJECT TYPE: Greenfield
LOCATION: Greenland
COMMODITY: Rubies
SERVICE SCOPE: EPC
THE CHALLENGE
To design, supply and install a DMS pre-concentration plant at a ruby processing operation in Greenland. Due to the remoteness of the project, it was critical for the design of the circuits to be modular and pre-assembled as much as possible prior to being shipped to site.
THE SOLUTION
In the interest of reducing capital expenditure and saving time on the project’s schedule, Halyard sourced and refurbished a previously-owned modular DMS plant. Although the plant was previously operated, after the mechanical equipment was refurbished and electrical components were replaced, the plant was in near new-condition.
ACHIEVEMENTS/HIGHLIGHTS
This successful project was the first of several in Greenland that Halyard has been engaged with.
